Qin Gong

Chapter 231 Zhao Jun retreats, Yang Yan pleads repeatedly.

Boom, boom, boom~!

Dang Yan and the city head, the rhythm of the drums was fast and sometimes slow, and Zhao Zu, who was still fighting the Qin army on the battlefield, stopped one after another and looked at the city head.

Afterwards, countless blood-stained Zhao Zu looked at Qin Zu warily and backed away slowly.

The soldiers of the Qin army standing on the battlefield saw this scene with the Qin sword in their hands, and immediately realized that the Zhao army seemed to be preparing to retreat.

see.

Without the order of the general, all the soldiers of the Qin army had no intention of catching up.

The soldiers of Zhao Bianqi and the Daibei Army were both brave and good at fighting, not to mention that the Daibei Army and Zhao Bianqi were not fleeing in a rout. If the general of the Zhao Army hadn't ordered the drum to withdraw, it is unknown who would die and who would live in this battle.

Under such circumstances, the soldiers of the Qin army did not chase and kill them easily, and they all stood where they were.

"General, Zhao Jun has retreated!"

After Bai Yan beheaded a Zhao soldier, he heard the words of his cronies, turned his head and looked around, and found that Zhao soldiers were indeed slowly retreating.

Zhao Jun finally retreated!
Watch this scene.

Bai Yan held the sword and didn't say anything.

With blood on his face, he looked at the surrounding battlefield, and saw countless war horses lying empty in place among countless soldiers.

Around the horses, there were corpses all over the ground, and blood-stained arrows, spears, and sharp swords were all scattered on the ground.

At a glance, the corpses of the generals of the Qin army and the corpses of Zhao Zu are innumerable.

Even with mental preparation.

Even after seeing the bravery of Zhao Bianqi and the Daibei Army on the banks of the Zhangshui River.

But looking at so many corpses of soldiers, Bai Yan still showed bitterness on his face.

Zhao State has Li Mu, and this Zhao Bianqi and Daibei Army, Qin State wants to send troops to destroy Zhao State, Li Mu will not die, Daibei Army and Zhao Bianqi's army will not be separated, it is impossible.

Even if there is another [-], it will be a loss for both sides. No matter whether Qin can destroy Zhao Bianqi and Dai Beijun, he will not be able to attack Handan again.

thought here.

Bai Yan raised his head, turned his head to look at Yan and the city tower in the distance, and looked at the figures above.

Quack quack ~! !
The crows in the sky began to circle and dance, and the number increased as they chirped.

Holding the head of General Zhao just now, Bai Yan walked past the corpses, and finally came to the corpse of the soldier who blocked the halberd for him just now.

"This head belongs to him! Send the title and bounty to his home and give it to his heirs."

For this soldier in his twenties, Bai Yan knew that his name was Zhonggu, he lived in a small village in Zhongshan, and he had a wife and children at home.

"promise!"

The soldiers around Bai Yan surrendered their orders.

Seeing the general squatting down, his bloody hands closed Zhonggu's eyes.

At this moment, the soldiers looked at the blood-stained general with respect and love in their eyes.

How could they not know who killed General Zhao.

In their eyes, their lives are worthless, and since joining the army, it has been the same in the eyes of other people.

Only the general cares about them.

He is willing to fight to the death with the general, even if they die with the general, they don't have to worry about their families.

When the soldiers were thinking in their hearts.

Bai Yan has already got up.

"Pass my order, the whole army withdraws from the battlefield!"

Bai Yan ordered softly.

Although the Zhao army retreated, Bai Yan was worried that after the fierce battle just now, the soldiers cleaned up the battlefield before they could rest. If the Zhao army came out again, the soldiers would definitely rest.

Today's war is no longer as modest and polite as it was in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Not to mention that the opponent is Sima Shang, Li Mu's lieutenant general.

Looking at the countless corpses of soldiers on the battlefield around him, Bai Yan knew that he could not order the corpses of soldiers to be carried away.

"promise!"

The soldiers around took orders one after another, then turned and left.

on the battlefield.

Under Bai Yan's order, all the soldiers of the Qin Army did not rush to clean up the battlefield, but gathered together and began to evacuate the battlefield.

After half an hour.

Accompanied by the Qin army away from Yan and the city.

In the original camp of the Qin army, all the soldiers of the Qin army were able to rest.

In the camp, before Bai Yan went to see Yang Yan's situation, he saw the soldiers carrying the corpses of Xi Yuan, Yan Yang, and other generals back.

Bai Yan stared blankly at these corpses.

He looked at the corpses of Xi Yuan and Yan Yang, and then at the corpses of other generals.

Thinking of these soldiers, when they all came from Yangcheng, they followed him all the time, and together they went north to kill Han Qiu, attack Chenggao, and fight Lu Zuoshan.

Later, there will be a raid on the south bank of Weishui, and there will be a battle against the Yuezhi and Huns together.

"General, Gong Cheng Xi Yuan, Gong Da Fu Yang, has died in battle!"

"General, six officials and officials died in battle, and sixteen officials died in battle!"

A famous cavalry general stood beside Bai Yan and reported in a soft voice.

Chai, Yan Mao and the other generals all fell silent when they heard this, and all the cavalry soldiers around them fell silent.

The blood on Bai Yan's cheek was still wet, and he looked at these people who had been following him with tears in his eyes.

"Let the wounded soldiers escort their remains, as well as the remains of other soldiers, back to Gaonu tomorrow."

Bai Yan said softly.

"promise!"

The general bowed his hands to Bai Yan to accept the order, turned around and went down to make arrangements.

Bai Yan stood where he was, watching the soldiers carry away the corpses of Xi Yuan and others.

After sunset comes nightfall.

Yang Yan, who was knocked unconscious by the arrow, woke up from the tent in a daze.

Yang Yan, who was pale and extremely weak, saw that he was in the camp, he couldn't care about other things, endured the severe pain in his abdomen, and struggled to get up.

Then he stumbled out of the tent.

Outside the tent, with the light from the bonfire all around, only the night remains, and when you look up, you can see the stars in the sky.

"General!"

"General!!"

The confidants and soldiers guarding outside the camp breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Yang Yan woke up, and hurriedly bowed their hands in salute.

"Where is Zhao Jun?"

Yang Yan turned his head and asked softly with a dazed expression.

"General, before sunset, the Zhao army has retreated to Yanhe city."

Qin Zu reported to Yang Yan.

heard.

Yang Yan knew that it was absolutely impossible for Zhao Jun to retreat easily.
Yang Yan thought that before he fell into a coma, he had seen an army of cavalry come to help, and at that time, the Qin army under his command had already fallen into a desperate situation.

"General Bai Yan is in that tent, quickly take me to see General Bai Yan!"

Yang Yan said hastily, and stumbled towards the front.

Seeing this, the two soldiers of Qin quickly supported Yang Yan.

along the way.

While listening to his cronies talking about today's events, Yang Yan looked at all the soldiers in the camp who dared not take off their armor in front of the bonfire, and saw how the soldiers were sleeping soundly wearing bloody Qin armor.

Yang Yan's eyes were red, and his eyes were full of guilt and self-blame.

After a while.

When two Qin soldiers supported Yang Yan and came to a tent in the iron knight's camp, they learned from the iron knight's soldiers that Bai Yan was not in the tent.

Yang Yan, who was anxious to see Bai Yan, did not give up. After waiting for a while, the cavalry general finally found a cavalry general and took him to look for Bai Yan.

When Yang Yan met Bai Yan in front of a quiet campfire in the dim campfire.

Bai Yan, who had not removed his armor, seemed to be holding bamboo slices by the campfire, and the ground was also full of bamboo slices, neatly placed on the ground.

Yang Yan stepped forward.

When Bai Yan heard the movement, he turned his head and looked over. It was the first time Yang Yan saw Bai Yan's cold eyes, the eyes were red, giving people a strange feeling.

Seeing Bai Yan put down the bamboo piece and slowly got up, Yang Yan also took his hand out of the support of his cronies.

"Yang Yan, I met the deputy general!"

Yang Yan didn't let the soldiers help him any more, but stood on the spot, enduring the pain, and cupped his hands to Bai Yan.

At this moment, Yang Yan's heart is full of gratitude for Bai Yan in front of him.

If Bai Yan hadn't saved his life, he would have died on the battlefield.

"General Yang Yan!"

Bai Yan looked at Yang Yan and bowed his hands in salute.

before the bonfire.

Yang Yan looked at Bai Yan who couldn't remove his armor, and expressed his gratitude to Bai Yan repeatedly for saving his life, and then expressed guilt and remorse to Bai Yan.

Bai Yan was polite in a soft voice, and also comforted Yang Yan with words.

After talking for a long time, Yang Yan couldn't hold on anymore and went back to rest.

But before leaving, Yang Yan repeatedly told Bai Yan that if he returns to Xianyang next time, he must be informed in advance, and he will prepare fine wine in Xianyang and wait for him.

Yang Yan knew that whether it was his own body or the fault of this battle, at dawn, when General Wang Jian arrived, he needed to return to Qin and Xianyang.

I only hope that the next time Bai Yan returns to the Qin Kingdom, he will have the opportunity to entertain Bai Yan. Naturally, a banquet for saving his life is not enough to repay him, but his banquet is a banquet for friendship with Bai Yan, which means that starting from him, the future of Yang's He has been friends with the Bai family for generations.

"must!"

Bai Yan clasped his hands in response.

Seeing this, Yang Yan felt relieved.

Returning the salute to Bai Yan, Yang Yan left with the support of his cronies.

Bai Yan looked at Yang Yan's leaving back, and his heart was full of complexities.

As for the Yang family, he seemed to be quite at odds with the Yang family. Whether he met Yang Xian in Shangjun or Yang Yan here, he had experienced two fierce battles.

However, Bai Yan also understands that whether it is in court or for the future, he cannot refuse Yang Yan's initiative to approach him, whether it is public or private.

Sit back by the campfire.

Bai Yan picked up the bamboo slice, looked at the names of the fallen soldiers on it, and then tied the bamboo slice with other bamboo slices with a small rope.

Bai Yan carefully handled the whole process.

In the dark of night, from time to time, soldiers would come from other places, and hand over a piece of bamboo to Bai Yan.

Bai Yan took each piece of bamboo, looked at the name on it, and then tied the bamboo piece and bamboo slip together with his own hands.

Day two.

The sky was bright, and in the Qin army camp, after the bonfire burned out, there were only piles of ashes left.

Throughout the night, Zhao Jun did not make another surprise attack.

In countless camps, the soldiers of the Qin Army woke up one after another. Although they did not dare to take off their blood-stained armor, they were able to sleep peacefully, and the fatigue from yesterday's bloody battle dissipated a lot.

Cooking smoke rose.

A soldier of the Qin Army hurriedly ran through the tents, and then came to a tent and walked in.

"General, Yan and Zhao Jun at the head of the city are gone!"

After Qin Zu entered the tent, he reported to the tired-looking Bai Yan.

"it is good!"

Bai Yan looked unsurprised, looking at the map.

For Li Mu, it is easy to stick to Yan and the city and confront the Qin army, but the supply of food and grass is far inferior to Jingjing.

"Order someone to open the gate of Yan and the city!"

Bai Yan raised his head and ordered.

"promise!"

The soldiers bowed their hands and took orders, then turned and left.

After half an hour.

Because the army of Zhao State in the city of Yanyu had left Yanyu at some time, the gate of the city without the Zhao army was easily opened by the Qin army.

The only remaining Qin army and cavalry army entered Yanyu City mightily.

the other side.

When the soldiers of the Qin army and the soldiers of the Bai family's iron cavalry were cleaning up the battlefield outside the city.

In the mountains in the direction of Qicheng in the distance, tens of thousands of Qin troops led by Wang Jian hurried on their way in the valley.

Wang Jian was riding a war horse, seeing that the distance was only a few miles away, and thinking of the last news he received yesterday, he was full of worry.
